WildNet - Margaret Holland
Members' Day and AGM 2025
This year’s AGM will be held at the stunning Killeavy Castle Estate, located at the foot of Slieve Gullion within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Surrounded by historic woodland and tranquil landscapes, the venue offers an ideal setting to reflect on our achievements and look ahead to the future.
Joining us as keynote speaker for the day will be Darren Rice, AONB & Geopark Manager for Newry, Mourne & Down District Council. Drawing on years of experience managing protected areas, Darren will explore how reconnecting with places through heritage and biodiversity can build resilience, inspire communities, and offer hope for a more nature-rich future.
During the afternoon sessions, you will have the choice between one activity or two conservation talks. Full details are provided in the programme image below. Please note: due to limited capacity, you can only attend the event that you choose at the time of booking. We cannot facilitate a mix-and-match approach to the afternoon sessions.
Choose between attending our full AGM and Members' Day or the free AGM-only event
